Great video! I love how thoroughly you explain the game while not being so technical it’s lost on new players. I’m trying to get into solo rpg-ing and as someone who’s never played a single ttrpg, I find a lot of RU-vid play throughs seem to be aimed at people who have experience playing DnD or some other multiplayer ttrpg, but there’s not much aimed at absolute beginners really walking them through the process as first time players. I don’t know if you take requests but I’ve been really interested in playing Hostile Solo and would love to see a walk through of character creation and getting started in the game aimed at newer players. Again, great work. Looking forward to more.
Glad you found the video useful! I agree with what you say about other solo RPG video content - without much roleplaying background myself, I wasn't ready to jump into playing a 'regular rpg' like DnD solo, so naturally gravitate to these systems designed for solo play that offer a bit more structure. Hostile Solo. Hadn't heard of that. It looks awesome. Definitely gonna add it to my list but who knows if I'll ever get to it 🙂 Good shout though!
Great video! I picked up this game myself a few weeks back. Also I understand the struggle with a limited character sheet. A solo game called Miru (which I highly recommend to you; sci-fantasy) has a character sheet that I marked up with A BUNCH of extra stuff. Though, to be fair, it was not essential stuff like you are mentioning here. More quality of life things like tables and what not to reduce flipping. Once again, cheers for this. Love the content. PS. Btw, what did you use to make your custom sheet?
Thanks for watching! Yeah - Miru is on my radar. I keep almost buying it and I'm aware there is a Kickstarter soon for the sequel. Yup - it's nice to have a decent way of recording all the info, means there is less to think about when playing. Unused Affinity Publisher, but that is probably overkill for the task 🙂
Also, "hi," just found your channel. I took a look at _Glide_ and was very tempted, since I love me some Frank Herbert-inspired goodness. I didn't jump in, but you're making me second-guess myself...
Thanks for the name - you were quickest so we're gonna go with Aeolus! And hi - thanks for finding me! Glad it is tempting - I'm enjoying the game and can recommend.
@@Genghis-Pawn you'll really like it. Worth picking up. As solo games go, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made! (Scraps is another and Notorious!)
What a great looking little game! I can’t wait to see how it develops. Have you tried Colostle? It’s got a similar vibe and is brilliant fun and involves exploring a world spanning castle with rooms the size of countries. There’s some combat in it but it’s not the most important part.
You certainly can. The designer has brought out a 'simple character sheet', which you can get on the game's itch page. It is very similar to mine. If you want mine, feel free to email me - my email is in my About page here on RU-vid.
My one recommendation is to get to the play quicker, it’s very dry just going through the book page by page, much better to explain the rules as you go, just my opinion
Agreed! I made this playthrough quite early on in my RU-vid career - if you watch more recent playthrough videos I almost always get to play much quicker than this, and my preference is to explain most stuff as I play! To make things a little easier for this video, I've added timestamps and a link to part 2 in the description. I've also changed the title of this video so it it clear that this one is just setup and character creation. Cheers - appreciate your input!
Thanks for playing through, I really enjoyed it. I watched it several times and then bought the game. I'm currently creating a digital tool prototype for Glide. (Also interesting for people with disabilities.) Do you have a Discord server or can I find you on another Discord server?
Glad you enjoyed it and that you're enjoying the game! I do not have a discord server - I would end up forgetting to log in to it! I always forget about Discord, so I'm rarely present in any servers. You can reach me via email - in the channel description. And I'm often on Facebook in groups like The Dungeon Dive Group and Solo RPG Guy's Group!
